The object of the invention is to provide a simple and efficient portable cabinet or carrier for disk records such as those used in connection with phonographs and like talking machines, and more particularly to rovide a device for the purposewhich w ile adapted for preserving the contained records against injury is adapted to facilitate the introduction and removal of selectedrec. ords; and with this object in view the invention consists in a construction and combination of partsof which a preferred embodiment is shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein: I Figure 1 is a perspective view of a cablnet embodying the invention.

Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view of the same. I

Figure 3 is a similar section taken a rightangles to the plane of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a detail view of one of the door limiting means.

The cabinet conslsts essentlally of a'frame which in the construction illustrated is of rectangular form including top and bottom walls 10 and 11 and endwalls 12, with which stituting doors whereby access is. given to the interior of the cabinet which interior side walls or doors are preferably limited'in swinging movement to hold them when open in outwardly and upwardly inclined posiclaimed asnew and useful is v 1. A portable record cabinet having a K frame are associated the side walls 13 contions indicated in Figures 1 and 2 by limiting devices 18 consisting of links respective-' i 1y pivoted to the edge of the door andan end wall of the frame and interlocked at their adjacent ends by the eyes 19. These I I links are adapted to fold into suitable rabbets or seats 20 in theJedges ofthe doors.

Also as a means of holding the upper f edges of the disks in position when a' door is i opened, preliminary to, making a selection or introducing any record, retainers 21" are mounted in suitableaguide', openings 22 in the upper wall of the cabinet, said retainers being of hair pin'form with coils 23 at their upper ends and exteriorly of the cabinet'to serve as finger holds, the extremities of the' 5 v I legs of the pin, being-deflectedto form stops 24 so that accidental dismounting. thereof from the cabinet is prevented. r I

A construction such as described isadapted according to its dimensions. to hold any of records without risk of injuring the surfaces thereof andunder conditions providing for ready access for the removal ofany I selected record. 1

Having described the invention, what is frame comprising top, bottom and) end walls, and movable side walls hinged at their lower edges to the bottom. wall and limited in outward swinging movementto positions at an outward and upward inclination tothe plane of the adjacent sides of the l me, and means for securing i oors in their. closed ositions, and/retainers slidgly'mounte inthe walls ofthe frame for positioning at their inner ends in the paths of outward movement of the records.
